Trek has added a solid length of downtube protection to the Full Stache to guard against errant rocks, boulders, and whatever else may find its way to the frame Trek allows that riders looking to shed weight of the Full Stache’s 33.88lbs build, or liven up the bikes ride can run tires as small as 29 x 2.6, but cautions that this will affect the BB height. There’s also not much wiggle room on tire size, outside of the recommended 29 x 3.0″ size. The Full Stache is only available in Medium, Large and XL sizes, with Trek recommending any rider missing the 15.5″ frame size look at the Fuel EX 29 or Fuel EX 27.5-plus instead. One sacrifice the redesigned rear end makes is the loss of a size Small frame. The new look allows Trek to keep the chainstay length to a tight 430mm, a hair shorter than its Fuel EX platform, to try find a balance between the 29-plus wheels stability and the fun-factor of trail bike geometry. To make room for the extra volume of those big 29-plus wheels, Trek fully redesigned the Full Stache’s suspension layout and added an elevated chainstay to increase drive-side clearance. Elevated chainstays bring the big wheels in tight on the Full Stache As riders get more comfortable pushing beyond the confines of their local trail networks, sometimes way beyond, Trek has designed the Full Stache to for riders demand for bikes that will not only survive out in the wilderness, but thrive there. Trek’s new 29-plus, 130mm adventure trail bike, the Full Stache is intended to tackle rugged trails on backcountry epics.
Riders are no longer satisfied just pushing the limits of where they can ride a mountain bike, but want to challenge how they can ride when they’re out there. Ask us questions, and let us find the perfect mountain bike for your needs.The growth of adventure biking, riders pushing themselves on big, backcountry rides, has seen the emerging riding style change recently. We've got a couple of these on the floor right now, and the Stache line has several models. And because of the raised drive side chain stay, your Q factor (basically, how far apart your pedals are width wise) stays the same.
This flaring increases lateral stiffness, helping to transfer your energy into forward motion. It almost feels like it was conceived expressly for the Barton Creek Greenbelt.īecause the chainstays flare out so dramatically to fit the larger tires, the drive side is raised to make room for your crank. The end result is a bike that's responsive, snappy, and incredibly fun to ride. The genious of the Stache, is that Trek provided us with larger tires while actually shrinking the chainstay. These longer chainstays can suck the fun out of riding and create a bike that handles the technical stuff rather slowly. One of the drawbacks to increasing tire size is that you generally have to increase chain stay length to accommodate. These larger tires provide more traction and shock absorption than standard 29" tires, making them perfect for the very rocky trail riding found here in Texas. The new Trek Stache comes with very wide 29"x3" tires. But don't worry, our sales staff is happy to explain all of these terms in detail.Įssentially, 29+ refers to wheel size. Trail bikes, 650b cross country bikes, long travel, hard tail, etc. The thing is, today's mountain bikes are so highly engineered that they need these different names and categories. And yes, we realize that mountain bikes have too many designations and categories.
